I'm certain I'm not the only one, but I've said DJ has had an immaturity and attitude problem for weeks now; he's sooo naturally talented but if it doesn't just come to him, he doesn't seem to want it.Batting in DJ’s spot, Chester bangs an RBI single in B9 to bring us within 1 run. Camera immediately cuts to DJ in the dugout, and I honestly can’t tell if he’s pissed or sad or jealous or what the 17 but I can tell you 100000% what he wasn’t - happy that his teammate just made a play and pulled us within a run…he needs to grow the 17 up and hit the cage and talk to his hitting coach and his priest/rabbi/imam/whatever and FIGURE IT THE 17 OUT. He absolutely looks defeated in every single AB before he even sees the first pitch
Two thoughts come to mind:When you get paid to play baseball, you're a professional. At that point, you're not an innocent kid anymore. And open yourself up to everything that comes with that.
It’s what we do best. Some of our miserable “fans” can’t wait to 17ing destroy players whenever they get the chance.What's much worse than that is we're destroying our own players.
No kidding… man there are some miserable guys that post here. Neither of these guys will benefit from being benched. They are both too talented to put on the bench and Jordan is a plus fielder on top of that. Drop them in the order but they shouldn’t come out of the lineup.You don't sit Hines and DJ.
Y'all sound like my mother-in-law. Uninformed, unhinged, emotionally irrational, and bored with nothing else to do.
I think you sit DJ for a different reason. Just be in the dugout for one game. Not punishment. Just hang out in the dugout with the players and have fun for a game. Clap with your teammates when Mershon gets up. Just forget about your swing, the pressure, and enjoy the game like you did when you were 10. If we are up big or down big, PH him and say go up there and have fun. Then tomorrow, we get back to work.You don't sit Hines and DJ.

Why do yall fall for irish's trolls?No kidding… man there are some miserable guys that post here. Neither of these guys will benefit from being benched.

I can get behind something like this. The rest of these yahoos are off their rockers.I think you sit DJ for a different reason. Just be in the dugout for one game. Not punishment.

The best players in the world take days off during the season to rest and get their head right.I think you sit DJ for a different reason. Just be in the dugout for one game. Not punishment.

Did you miss the numerous other posters bashing Jordan? Definitely more than just Irish. I agree with you on Irish though. I don’t respond to him.Why do yall fall for irish's trolls?
he gave up the kid label when he started getting a check…..in the real world you have to earn that 17rOld enough to get paid a bunch of NIL money though?
My problem is more we trash our own players so much. I know nothing about baseball, but even i know slumps are common for even the best MLBers and they don't get sat, they play through it. If MLBers are successful 1/4 to 1/3 of the time you considered good.When I was 20 years old, I was receiving and extra 2.75 a day for combat pay. I don't want to hear this **** about not getting on a 20-year-olds *** who is making a lot of money, going to college for free and playing a game he loves. That's not just baseball. A few years ago, I would not have said that but now they are getting paid it's a little difference. Anyways he better get used to it if he going to play professional baseball.
Pointing out when a guy is playing like crap is not trashing them. It's just stating the obvious. If you are calling them names or calling their moms whores that is different. That should never happen. I really don't understand not being able to point out things when they are bad especially since they are being paid now. They are grown men and should be able to take it.My problem is more we trash our own players so much.

I'll assure you Lemonheadjuice is playing DJ and Hines because he thinks they give us the best chance of winning. He may know a little bit more about it than the jabrones on this page (other than Bulldog Bruce).
Many can't, they're prima donnas. It seems we tear down our own more than celebrate their success.They are grown men and should be able to take it.
To be fair, money or not, if I was struggling and got my spot taken, I likely wouldn't be all that jolly either. This whole 'sit on the bench and support your team' stuff, I have always questioned that.Batting in DJ’s spot, Chester bangs an RBI single in B9 to bring us within 1 run.

That’s the problem with this.. they want all the glory and money, but no responsibility or blame. Life doesn’t work that way. That’s not real world and is making a mentally weak society. Fighting through adversity should make you stronger and more resilient.. not a victim. That’s what separates the top from the bottom. Any profession is like that..Old enough to get paid a bunch of NIL money though?
Your two power hitters going dormant in scoring situations isn’t a slump. He tried a change of pace last night, and it didn’t work at all. At this point send both the sports psychologists for a few days and let some younger guys try to make a name for themselves. DJ, especially…. He’s 100% gone in a few weeks…. HH may have just “earned” himself another year of college.My problem is more we trash our own players so much.

It's sec baseball it's big boy ball. Nil involved now. You getting paid. And have disappeared at the plate. You deserve criticism. This ain't little league. He needs to get his head out of the draft and concentrate on his game and helping his teamI liked this dude better before he took every opportunity to come at fans on Twitter.
